Answer:

Still air is at atmospheric pressure and atmospheric temperature whereas rammed air has a higher pressure, higher density than the atmosphere and as a result, its temperature also increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Still air is at atmospheric pressure and atmospheric temperature whereas rammed air has a higher pressure than the atmosphere and as a result, its temperature also increases.
  • Rammed air is under pressure and has a higher density. Rammed air has a greater mass in less volume.
  • The rammed air is used in compressors and gas turbines to produce energy in the desired form.
